It never was Camelot, in the words of Larry F. O’Brien “it was hard work everyday for 12-16 hours a day. We knew there were problems, but this notion of Camelot, I didn’t sense it, it just was hard work, we were committed to it.” Matt, it was never the same after 22 November 1963, and it never will be.

I was 13 years old in 1962 and I still have this magazine - when starting to go into the White House I plucked some plant leaves from the White House ground - they looked like ivy or something and I taped them down and put them into this "book".

    In watching videos of JFK standing while giving speeches, I have noticed that he shifts around a lot at times. I imagine in those moments, he was dealing with considerable pain from his back, but never let on to the public. His left leg was shorter than his right by nearly a half inch, which was also debilitating and his White House physician, Dr. Janet Travell, had shoe lifts made for JFK to help alleviate that problem.

      @@Kayte-tv2cw Thank you Kayte, it’s going on 58 years and we still don’t know for a moral certainty what happened in Dallas in November 1963. Oswald was a tragic figure who I am convinced had nothing to do with this. Lee Oswald was a low level intelligence operative who was hung out to dry, a cleverly set up fallguy. What did Lee Oswald say at his evening press conference, “I’m just a patsy.” The press and media along with the Dallas DA said Oswald was a deranged communist nut job. Most assassins take immediate acknowledgement for their deeds. Not this guy. Years later, in November 1988, I was watching television with my Dad and TV coverage of the 25th anniversary of President Kennedy’s death was being played on most television programming. While watching this Dad let out a painful sigh and said to me, “what a terrible waste, there was something so wrong that weekend, every happened so fast and it was like it was all planned in advance.” Dad is still alive and I feel his future was stolen from him in a huge way. We were all young in those days of the early 1960’s. The future was bright with this President. Kayte, if you care to, watch on UA-cam Douglas Horne’s presentation on The Medical Evidence and the Autopsy of President Kennedy. It is a series of five parts. Douglas Horne worked for the Assassination Records Review Board in the 1990’s. This was the most honest evidence gathering effort on the President’s murder and involves the shenanigans that went on at the Bethesda Naval Hospital during the President’s autopsy. Spoiler alert, President Kennedy had clandestine post-mortem pre-autopsy surgery done to him by Commander Humes and Commander Boswell to alter all evidence of frontal gunshot wounds and to obliterate all evidence of a rear exit wound to his head. Also all or most of the bullets and bullet fragments were removed. This was done prior to the official autopsy which started at 8:00 pm.Kayte, I swear this will keep you up at night.

      @@davidpallin772 , First of all, I am in agreement with you regarding Lee Harvey Oswald’s “role” in President Kennedy’s assassination. I have actually heard of Doug Horne, and have watched some of his videos. But, for some reason, I never heard about the 5 part series that you mentioned. So, thank you for recommending it. My husband has a great interest in the assassination, also. His late father actually helped to coordinate then Senator Kennedy’s visit to Green Bay, Wi. during the Presidential race in 1960, and donated money to his campaign. We just finished watching Part 1 of the 5 part series. I was already aware of many things discussed in Part 1, such as the alterations done to President Kennedy’s skull. If I recall correctly, I read about that in the early 1980’s in David Lifton’s book, “Best Evidence”. However, I also learned many new things regarding the assassination through watching Part 1. There is one thing that I find disturbing. I was already aware that Robert Kennedy had taken control of President Kennedy’s brain tissue at some point, but I have never heard that he destroyed it. I guess I cannot understand the reasoning as to why RFK would actually destroy the brain tissue. My husband has his own theories as to why he might have done that, but I am interested in what you think about that subject? We plan on watching the remaining 4 parts of the Doug Horne videos, whenever we have the time to sit down and really concentrate on the information he discusses. Thanks again.
